Senecio radicans is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It has become a popular house plant for many of us. The stems have light green leaves shaped like tiny little bananas. In summer the plant produces little white brush-like flowers that are fragrant. This plant grows best in bright light and being a succulent requires a well draining potting medium.
